How are server customers affected?

You can opt for a new model and use the next three years to make the switch. Since some adjustments may soon have an impact on your decisions, it is advisable to address the changes at an early stage. You can count on the support of Swarmit and Atlassian.

The new target platforms are either cloud or data center:

Cloud migration

Benefit from the major investments that Atlassian has invested in cloud products over the last few years. More than 90% of new Atlassian customers are already going straight to the cloud. Atlassian meets the increased requirements of large companies with Cloud Premium and Cloud Enterprise.

Data Center Migration

If you have increased requirements for data storage or individual operating models, you can migrate to a data center, which is being actively developed. A quick switch from server to data center is possible with the start-up of a single node operation.

Our recommendation

Die Atlassian Cloud offers the highest level of flexibility and is being expanded and massively expanded at full speed. As a complete SaaS solution, operating costs are reduced and you are enormously relieved during operation. If the cloud operating model is right for you, you benefit from intensive migration support from Swarmit in cooperation with Atlassian. We would be happy to show you the options. They have enough time to start the migration.

If you depend on the self-management of your Atlassian products, the data center products are the professional architecture at enterprise level. Data Center will be expanded and expanded by several functions as a result of the changeover. Jira Software Data Center is used, for example, by Advanced Roadmaps (Portfolio for Jira) added.

If you opt for Data Center, we recommend that you consider the upgrade before 02.02.2021. They benefit from a reduced price increase for existing customers, which then comes into force. We calculate the price savings for you!

An overview of the new data center prices can be found on our license overview.
